What is History? Book review of Edward Hallett Carr

History is what we live everyday. It happens every second worldwide. It happened for centuries. Even before people began to write it down. History is a chain of events and facts of every change occurring over time. But how do historians write history? How did they know about what happened at the time? How do they find the right facts, put them on books, and compare them with those learning them? What is the history of Edward Hallatt Carr's book?

Edward Hallett Carr pointed out that "the center of religion for historical facts, independent of objective and historical interpretation is a silly paradox, but it is difficult to eradicate," he pointed out. I still have general discussion. Today for many years, historians have discussed history and the possibility of history as neutrality of empirical science. In my opinion, I agree with Karl's view that historical facts are completely impossible to achieve absolute objectivity of "pollution-free" through historian interpretation and evaluation. This is based on the fact that historical knowledge is necessarily handled by undergoing the process of human thought, selection, evaluation and interpretation, which always includes personal factors of prejudice and prejudice.

These two views on the true availability of history are often seen as two opposing extremes, the middle is often seen as a relativistic view, an example of which is the view of EH. curl. Edward Haret car was born in 1892 and died in 1982. He was fascinated by Russian literature and culture at Riga in Latvia and advised him to write articles about the Soviet Union for the majority of his career. He had a great influence on his Herodotus' view from the professor of Cambridge and was formed by the time he lived, which led to the development of his relativistic ideology. He may also be influenced by extreme ideas during this period. Carl recommends studying historians to gain some degree of truth - research historians before you start studying facts (E.H. Carr, What is History ?, p. 23).
